Top Tip

Be your authentic self in an interview. When trying to pull off a "perfect" interview, we sometime fail to give hiring managers what they really want to see, which is a glimpse of our true personality! - Prepare, but don't over-rehearse, focus on why the opportunity sparks excitement for you, and don't pretend to be perfect! You want to give the hiring manager a sense of what it could be like to work with you and vice versa.
